For permission to copy the full interview please contact FyberSearch. He is doing a great job, so go check his search engine out; after reading the interview of course... Marc: Hi Nathan, Firstly can I say what a great job you're doing with FyberSearch. I've been an avid follower of your progress for a while now, and I'm looking forward to the time one of us gate crash the top three! Question #1 Nathan Enns: What motivated you to start Mojeek? Marc: The challenge to design and develop a search engine from scratch, and ultimately, the challenge of competing against the major search engines. But also, the disconcerting lack of any major UK players in search and if nothing else, to improve and expand upon my current knowledge of programming. Question #2 Nathan Enns: What is your background in the search industry? Marc: My background is in a completely different field, mainly real-time and high performance applications, which both I believe have a lot to offer search. I'm also very interested in artificial intelligence, particularly in attempting to mimic the human learning process. Question #3 Nathan Enns: When was Mojeek officially launched? Marc: Mojeek first went online in October 2004, with only 1 million pages! This was probably too early in the development stage, but I wanted to at least show webmasters an engine in the making rather than just a bot page saying coming soon. Now I don't see an official launch happening, just new feature releases. About FyberSearch: FyberSearch is a search engine technology company founded in November 2003 by Nathan Enns.
